I love Jesus, and His guidance through the Holy Spirit shapes the way I live, love, and care for others.
As the oldest daughter, granddaughter, and cousin in a close-knit family, I spent years holding babies before I was called to hold mothers. Caring for people has always been part of who I am, and now I get to care for women during one of the most meaningful days of their lives.
Throughout college, I've worked as a barista, where I learned that hospitality is often found in the little things—a warm welcome, remembering someone's order, or creating a space where people can simply slow down. It also sparked my love for good coffee.
When I'm not with clients, I'm probably at the beach, down a rabbit hole reading the latest perinatal research, or trying a new local coffee shop.

My Calling
My heart has always been drawn to the wonder of how God designed the female body—intentional, strong, and beautifully intricate. That sense of awe first led me to the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), where I pursued a path toward becoming an OB/Gyn and studied Medical Humanities, learning to see the human body not only through science, but through story, dignity, and the sacredness of human experience. I will be graduating this fall, and those years shaped both my mind and my heart in ways I will carry with me always.
As I walked through that season of study, I began to notice something deeper unfolding. What once felt like a clear direction began to shift—not away from birth, but toward a different kind of presence within it. I found myself increasingly drawn to walking closely with women through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, offering steadiness, comfort, and encouragement in a way that felt deeply aligned with how I believe God designed me to serve.
There came a point where the call was no longer something I could quietly set aside. It was persistent, gentle, and undeniable—woven into prayer, confirmed through experience, and rooted in a growing sense of peace that I could not ignore. I’ve come to understand that when God places a calling on your life, it does not simply fade with time; it continues to guide, redirect, and invite you into deeper obedience.
That clarity led me to complete my DONA International doula training seminar, and I am currently finishing my training as a community birth doula through San Antonio Birth Doulas. Each step has only strengthened what I already knew in my spirit—that I am meant to serve in the sacred space where women are becoming mothers, offering presence, encouragement, and care through one of life’s most transformative journeys.
Now, I step forward with humility and gratitude, trusting that this is only the beginning of a much larger unfolding. I am honored to walk alongside families in this season, offering steady support, prayerful presence, and the reminder that they are deeply held and never alone as they move through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
